A cinematic flow of events pictures a 15-year-old teen-aged girl and her friend who became involved in a dangerous resistance to the forced removal of everyone in their village to a remote, barren "homeland." This fictional picture of contemporary black South African youth who become politicized by realities of apartheid is a sequel to JOURNEY TO JO'BURG. (Age 12 and older)
